Hesacore Pickleball Paddle Carbon Grip - 5.25in - Stiff Feel - Supports Tennis Elbow, Enhances Grip Strength, Reduces Vibration with Finger Support and Anti-Sweat Design

Ok. I’ve read through a lot of the reviews on this product and there’s two things, in my opinion, that you need to know. First, this cannot be your primary grip. You have to put an over grip over this thing because it’s rubber and will not absorb moisture from your hand. It will get slippery to me that seems obvious. Second, I’ve read a lot of reviews about difficulty with installation of the grip. If you’re trying to put this thing on with your paddle between your legs or holding it in one hand that will be difficult. I put my paddle in a vice and it took me 30 seconds using the plastic strips that were provided to get the handle in place. So that was a non-issue. I’ll go out tomorrow and try to play with the thing and see how it works. But so far it feels good in my hand.

Installation was a little bit of a pain, I found the best way was to sit down with the paddle between my legs handle up to get this thing on. After that just some minor adjusting to have the grip aligned with the paddle. I love the way it feels when I play. After the over grip, I have good control of the paddle and always know how it's angled. I noticed it's helped my drops

Good grip

It's hard to put on if you follow the manufacturer's instructions. I ripped the first one doing that. What worked for me was removing the permanent grip and then using a blow dryer intermittently to soften/loosen up the grip enough to get it on. I also added an overgrip after since I don't think that material will work for sweaty hands. That's why I ordered an extra small. It's working out well for me. There is a difference when hitting with this grip than without. For some reason it feels like I can hit with more power. The reason for the four stars is the instructions they provided. The plastic tabs caused a rip the first time I tried putting it on.

very difficult to put on. You have to take off the old grip in order for this one to fit. If you want to oversize the grip this one is not condusive to accomplish that. Ended up taking it off the paddle and putting on a Senston grip.

Works great

It works fine and well, but how can you charge $30 for this slim and flimsy piece of rubber? Abhorrent.

the hesacore carbon grip is much stiffer than the tour version. although it’s a touch less comfortable due to the stiffness, the increase in the ability to feel and control the ball is well worth it. i especially like using this grip for paddles where i need to increase the grip size and/or lower the balance point, since it does add weight to the handle.

Originally, I was thinking of upgrading my paddle, but why do that when I have only had it for a year. By buying the hesacore grip, not only did it help improve my game but it also gave it a new look and it was a lot less expensive than purchasing a new paddle. If I had to say one negative thing about the product it would have to be the amount of time spent trying to get the grip onto the handle. I think I clocked it at 30-35 mins (that is with a couple of breaks to give my fingers to reset. Lol.)

No estuve nada contento, tuve problemas y lios con la medida y lo que se esperaba, por lo que acabé decepcionado con el tiempo super largo también de soporte por ello

el material es muy rígido vs el color blanco, recomiendo más el blanco

I found that the grip changed the balance on my pickleball too much and even with lead tape applied to counter the imbalance, my paddle felt clunky. I also didn’t find the grip feel comfortable.

It broke after 5 weeks
